anyways thanks for it!

This typeface is pretty much just Avant Garde, distressed, with some letters replaced by ligatures. The classic typeface in its original form is nearly 40 years old. Herb Lubalin is turning in his grave. The kerning pairs are also pretty inexcusable.

If you like this, please look up the real thing and see how it is supposed to look. Wiki 'Lubalin' or 'Avant Garde magazine'.

I'm with wrenfern: you just took the commercial Avantgarde typeface, slightly altered it with a grungy look that anybody can do in Photoshop and give it away for free, without respect to the copyright of the original creator.

i need help on downloading...i downloading it and its in winrar and i tried to drag and drop it into my fonts folder but it says the file c:\users\evan\desktop\birthofafero is not a valid font......can someone please helpme

I've found this font on products in stores twice now. Once on a guitar hero t-shirt in Kohls and the other on an album cover in Best Buy. I hope this guy is getting royalties for these. See the attached pictures...

All of these idiots commenting on how this font looks eerily similar to Avant Garde...NO SH*T! Don't hate the guy for making the most overly used and abused font in the 21st century. He didn't know that everybody was going to treat it like a $5 hooker.

For those of you looking for an improved version with more/better accents etc: Guillaume Séguin has allowed me to rework his fonts and offer them with a (very generous) commercial license.
So if you need a professional quality Unicode OpenType or TrueType version of this font with a multilingual and expanded character set - you will find it here:http://www.cheapprofonts.com/Birth_Of_A_Hero_Pro
(Guillaume Séguin receives royalties from all sales)

I met Herb Lubalin years ago. He had a very good sense of humor about how Avant Garde was used and misused. I'm pretty sure he would smile at this as well, but who knows? He might even cry at what's happened to typography the last five or six years. Rest in Peace, Herb.
